Hold On To Your Music - A Mother's Legacy (2025)
A sweeping testament of survival, the power of music, and the enduring strength of a mother’s love
|
This is a powerful generational story that brings to life concert pianist Mona Golabek’s acclaimed book and play, The Pianist of Willesden Lane. At its heart, this is the story of Mona’s mother, Lisa Jura, a child prodigy pianist in pre-war Vienna, whose promising future is shattered by the rise of the Nazi regime.
Sent alone to London on the Kindertransport, 14 year old Lisa clings to her mother’s words: “Hold on to your music, it will be your best friend.” Against all odds, she earns the opportunity to study at the Royal Academy of Music, debuts on the London stage, marries a decorated French resistance fighter and guides her two daughters tobecome concert pianists themselves. Spanning three generations—from pre-war Europe through the Holocaust to the present day—the film is a sweeping testament to survival, artistry, and the enduring strength of a mother’s love. |
